The local herbalist is a pretty, middle-aged woman with a sad and calm temperament. She doesn't seem to welcome Xie Yuan's arrival.
In other words, in fact, the entire Baiguoyuan Village has a very subtle attitude towards Xie Yuan.
In terms of skin color and appearance, Xie Yuan is obviously not a local. With his black hair, he is more like a Nilfgaardian. In addition, Xie Yuan has been working for the Nilfgaard garrison, so they have subconsciously regarded Xie Yuan as a local. Enter the camp of the men in black.
Even though he has organized a lot of treatment work for the release of prisoners, and even treated people politely, and tried his best to restrain the Nigerian soldiers to treat the people in the occupied areas equally, and even just helped Baiguo Village regain the logging camp that was occupied by monsters, the village will not feel it. Thank you Yuan for what you did.
Because in their view, these disasters were originally caused by the men in black, including Xie Yuan, and they were originally the fault of the men in black. Even if Xie Yuan was partly responsible, it was what the men in black should do.
Especially, there was a pale, dull-looking girl lying unconscious on the herbalist's bed.
Seeing this unlucky girl, Xie Yuan had to spit on the Nilfgaardian garrison - they were simply bastards who cared about killing but not burying her, and they were blind and irresponsible.
Some time ago, the Nilfgaardian garrison that had just occupied White Orchard Village was not so quiet. Their patrols could be said to be reckless.
They dare not do big evil deeds, such as large-scale plunder and massacre, because this place is too close to Vizima, the capital of Temeria, and the palace of the current emperor Emhyr - the emperor also wants to save face and cannot let him Feeling unhappy because of a bad reputation.
But small bad things, bullying, setting up tolls on the road, randomly identifying someone as a spy and arresting them... There is only what they want to do, there is nothing they can't do. Anyway, these victims can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out. ——What else can we do? Who said Temeria’s defense battle failed?
But sometimes seeking death depends on the person and the situation. For example, a patrol recently went to a wild mountain drunkenly after eating, drinking and having fun.
It's hard to say whether this was deliberately exploited by someone with intentions, but the result was that they killed a female griffin while drunk, and then burned the griffin's eggs and nest.
Then they were all killed by the returning male lion and heron, leaving no trace of their corpses!
The missing patrol was immediately discovered, and the griffon's nest that had been destroyed by the patrol was also discovered - Captain Guan Li even wanted to see if he could arrange for some crossbowmen to ambush another male griffin there. The beast was shot to death, but it was obvious that the male gryphon would not fly back to this broken lair.
And this was only the beginning of the disaster for the Nilfgaardian garrison and Ginkgo Village.
Every day, the entire horse team and lone pedestrians far outside the village would be violently attacked by the lion and heron beasts. Most of them died without their bodies intact, and few survived.
In the end, except for the large and heavily guarded temporary garrison where griffins dare not attack and the large village of Baiguo Village, there is no place that is not easily attacked by griffins.
Now, except for the two-man cavalry team patrolling Ginkgo Village and nearby areas, there are almost no large-scale patrol teams in other places - they are afraid of going out and becoming bait for griffins.
On the contrary, the safe way now is to use freight carriages. It is difficult for the griffon to catch up with moving things. After all, once the griffin dives, if the carriage is not within the effective attack range, then the griffon has Maybe, it will be in vain.
This strategy was proposed by Xie Yuan to Captain Guan Li, but unfortunately it comes at a high price: except for the necessary transportation arteries, Nilfgaard has actually lost control of the vast area nearby. It is difficult to say Will the Temerian resistance and road bandits have taken root in some places and are looking for ways to expand and grow their power?
For a short period of time, their size and offensive capabilities were out of reach, but what about after that? Humph... If the purpose is to achieve social stability, we should clear up the gryphon beast mess as quickly as possible, and then restore basic control over these areas.
But if it means destroying Nilfgaard's logistics operations, then it is indeed a
It is a very good state, and we should find ways to extend it to wait for the resistance to gradually grow and make the chaos more intense.
Xie Yuan has no specific preference for the invasion of Nilfgaard and the resistance of Temeria - he was originally born in Vizima, but his hair color and appearance have returned to the black-brown color unique to Easterners. Hitomi's characteristics are that she can no longer be considered a local. Even because of the same hair color, Xie Yuan should be a little more supportive of the Nilfgaard Empire.
So the best option is to never make a choice until a certain moment, just stay neutral.
As for why you say you are irresponsible? Because there are people in the Nilfgaard garrison who know the general situation of this girl, and as the invisible leader of the wounded camp and someone who is very good with the garrison, he naturally knows the general situation of this girl.
What about in simple terms? There is a plot similar to "Madame Butterfly" here, in which a young Nilfgaardian soldier falls in love with a local peasant girl.
Is this relationship for sex or are they really attracted to each other? Xie Yuan didn't know - because his colleagues in the garrison were narrow-minded and didn't know how to arrange it.
Xie Yuan has not met the Nigerian client - in fact, this is the first time he has met the woman? On the night of their tryst, they were attacked by a lion orbeast. The man and the woman suffered some superficial injuries, but the woman's condition was not good - she was scratched by the claws and her brain was injured.
The gryphon's claws contain toxins that can cause internal bleeding, so this young woman may have suffered intracranial hemorrhage.
The girl's parents have given up on her - she was not tolerated by the village because of her excessive behavior of dating a man in black... She has been placed in the herbalist's house since she was injured.
Cerebral hemorrhage is a very dangerous symptom. If it continues like this, it will not only lead to death, but it may even be a painful death.
The death of this girl is not a good outcome - at least for Guan Li, she means two warnings: the man in black is irresponsible and always abandons the situation; there will be no good outcome if you cooperate with the man in black.
According to the normal world view here, there is no basic cure - even if it is a brain surgery in the 21st century, the surgeon would not dare to do it if he does not have 30 years of experience.
Xie Yuan can be saved. His multi-purpose tool has a military-grade medical module that can perform minimally invasive repairs on blood vessels in the brain. At the same time, he can apply nerve splints to heal nerve endings to minimize the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage.
There's just a problem.
"What are you talking about? You mean you can save this poor girl, but you want this place to be sealed off?!" Herbalist Tomile looked at Xie Yuan with disgust: "What is your technique? Surgery or Is it magic? If it's the former, I will never perform surgery, but you said that you can become a brain surgeon by yourself?! If you are a medical student, are you speaking in human terms?
Could it be magic? Even if it is magic, will I, a herbalist, plagiarize your magic? 「
"No," Xie Yuan shook his head, "But this is my personal exclusive method and cannot be revealed to others, but I can guarantee that it is possible to stop brain bleeding and restore most of the patient's neurological responses."
But Tomile frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly: "I'm sorry, I know you are a good person, but I can't trust you yet - your level of herbal medicine is not even an introduction. This is for Any treatment is in vain.
Now I have roughly stabilized her condition, but the outlook is worrying. She may fall into a coma and die, but if you mess around and let her die in pain, it will be a big sin. "
"Then you can teach me how to use local herbal medicine!"
"But it's not that I don't want to teach you. I can sell you some local herbal medicine encyclopedias in the north, but I'm not qualified to teach you... Please don't make it difficult for me." Tomile fell into an inexplicable state when he said this. Depressed, it seems that he is a person with a story.
In the end, Xie Yuan proposed to buy some herbal medicine books or related formula information, which Tuomile did not object to. At the same time, he also asked the herbalist for advice on how to use the captured monster tissue.
But unfortunately, the herbalist told Xie Yuan that, generally speaking, ordinary plant herbs and minerals
From the powder, many genuine therapeutic drugs can be produced that are suitable for ordinary people.
The place where monster organizations are really used is for making alchemical potions, secret potions and magic potions - most of these are the secrets hidden by magicians and demon hunters, and Tomile is also here. There are only a few witcher secret recipes here and there.
But no witcher has been here for more than ten years, and the witcher potion made from a secret recipe is extremely poisonous to ordinary people and is basically useless.
Xie Yuan actually wanted to print a copy of the witcher's potion formula and study it. Tomile did not refuse. After all, Xie Yuan was very happy to pay.
But before leaving, Xie Yuan still suggested: "In the past few days, I will be busy here doing chores. If there is really no hope, come to me again - as long as she is still breathing, I can save her, but the conditions are still the same .”
Tomele did not reject it completely, but just said: "Let me think about it again."
Xie Yuan, who left the local herbalist's hut, returned to the lumberyard. In a short while, several strong farmers and women were working together to clean up the monster's remains and prepare to dig holes and bury them.
On the other hand, there were several other peasant women kneeling in front of the cart and crying loudly over the tightly wrapped corpse, as if they were bidding farewell to the past and welcoming a new, but not so good, future...
However, before Xie Yuan could take a breath, the cavalryman who had just finished reporting the letter suddenly saw Xie Yuan running over with his horse: "Your Excellency Yuan, Captain Guan Li wants to see you right away. Please ride on this horse and hurry over. !」
what happened again? Xie Yuan was really puzzled, but he still jumped on the horse in one go.
"Hey! Let's go!" He skillfully pulled up the reins and controlled the horse to gallop away. Xie Yuan had already mastered the horse riding skills after years of study in Kabul.
"Oh! Lord Yuan is indeed not from this place." Looking at Xie Yuan's retreating figure, the cavalryman murmured and commented, "Even the way of riding a horse is different, but he is indeed rich in experience."
